5Great travel system.
By Jose Gei Alvarado
We have only used this travel system for a couple of weeks, but we think this is a great buy. Easy to put together, easy to use, it may not be the most sophisticated system around, but it gets the job done. Beautiful too! The car seat base was very easy to install in our car, and the car seat snaps in and out very fast, and our baby girl is gets very comfortable in it. Same thing with the stroller, it may not be the lightest around, but it has enough space for our diaper bag, its easy to manuever, and when you fold it, it fits easily in a mid size car trunk. The only thing we have found is that the stroller's seat doesn't recline all the way to a horizontal position, it goes only 2/3 of the way.

5So far, love it!
By A. Rankin
I just got this yesterday, and so far, I'm very impressed! The directions to assemble the carseat were easy to follow, and it seemed pretty easy to put together. I really appreciate that they didn't send this with a bunch of screws; nearly everything just snaps into place! The stroller seems very sturdy, and I've already found that it's easy to steer around. I don't feel that it's too bulky or heavy. It did fit right into the trunk of my midsize car (though from experience with a friend's similar model, a clean, moderately sized trunk helps a lot for storing this stroller). I love how this system looks too; the lining will just wipe clean, but it's not such a stiff material that is uncomfortable. It just looks pretty too. :) My daughter has already spent quite a bit of time in her new seat, and at 4 and a half months old, she settled right in and seemed very comfortable! I hope the future with our new travel system is just as good as the 1st day has been!

3Love ALMOST everything
By H. E. Q. Lane
I purchased this for our fourth child -- we had worn out our old stroller!

Here are the pros of this:

*Great color, subtle and gender-neutral, fashionable, but not too trendy
*LOVE the stroller -- it is light and easy to fold and unfold
*The basket under the stroller is a good size
*One-hand steering on the stroller! This is great!
*The stroller and seat are sturdy, good quality Graco

Here are the cons:

*Actually, there is only one con, but for me it has been a big one: The infant seat straps tighten separately and adjust at the back of the seat. Both of our older Graco SnugRides adjusted at the front of the seat with a single strap between the baby's legs. The back adjust does allow you to adjust each side more accurately, I suppose, but it requires two hands to do it right and takes more time (and time is of the essence when you have 4 kids!). It is also really difficult to loosen/tighten the straps when the seat is in the base in the car or set on the stroller, because you're at an awkward angle and there isn't a lot of clearance to pull down. I often carry my son in a sling in stores, etc. and getting him back in the seat is frustrating, especially when I am in a hurry and/or when it has been very cold and I am trying to get him in and the car door closed as quickly as possible.

If I had known the adjust on this was at the rear of the seat, I may have chosen a different travel system. Of course, it is our fault that we didn't get it ready until I was ready to leave the hospital with our new baby, but I never thought the design would be different than what it's always been. I have seen the front adjust on other new SnugRides, so I am not sure why this has the rear adjustment.
